They are a symbol of China. Have you watched the dragon dance? How much do you know about it? In Chinese culture, the dragon dance is a form of traditional dance. In the dance, a team of people carry the dragon and perform wonderful dances. Like the lion dance, this traditional dance has spread all over China and the whole world. The dragon dance itself began in the Han Dynasty and it was started by the Chinese who had great respect (尊重) for the dragon. The dragon dance was already a popular event in the Song Dynasty. At that time, people could often see it during important festivals. In the Qing Dynasty, the Dragon Dance Team of Fuzhou was invited to give a performance in Beijing. And the emperor was quite glad to see the performance. In the past, people used wood, bamboo and a special cloth to make dragons. So they were always quite heavy. However, in modern times, dragons are much lighter because they are made of much lighter materials. A dragon can be of different lengths. It can be 25 to 35 meters long for acrobatic (杂技的) acts, and up to 50 to 70 meters long for quite large parades (游行) because people believe that the longer the dragon is, the more luck it will bring.

Car companies are now making cars that are fully powered by electricity only. How do these electric cars measure up to (符合标准) traditional gasoline cars? Electric and gasoline cars look similar on the outside. They have very different parts under their hoods (引擎盖), though. Electric cars have one main moving part: the motor. But gasoline cars have hundreds of parts, often requiring frequent maintenance (保养). Having fewer parts makes the electricity car cheaper to maintain and less likely to have mechanical (机械的) problems. Electric cars are energy efficient (高效的), also making them cheaper to operate. It costs about ＄1.00 to travel 43 miles in an electric car, which is a clear contrast to a gas car . But it costs about ＄1.25 to go 18 miles in a gasoline car. Basically, an electric car can go twice as far as a gas car for the same price. Electric cars do not have tailpipe emissions (尾气排放), making them do no harm to the environment, too. While some points make electric cars seem attractive, other points aren’t as favorable. For example, some electric cars can travel only 60 to 120 miles on a full charge (充电). Most gas cars can drive hundreds of miles on a full tank (油箱). An electric car has to stop more often to get recharged. Therefore, a gas car would be a better option (选择) if you have far to drive. And electric cars aren’t as convenient (方便的) to power up as gas cars are. There are plenty of gas stations, but not many charging stations for electric cars. Then, once an electric car reaches a charging station. It can take up to six hours to charge, There are certainly advantages to both electric cars and gasoline cars. It’s good to know that there is a choice. Which one do you prefer? It’s up to you. ※Introduction: With the appearance of electric cars, people wonder whether electric cars can reach the same standards as gasoline cars. ※ 1 : The looks of gasoline cars and electric cars. 1. For electric cars, having fewer parts cuts down the cost of their maintenance and the 2 of having problems in the machines. 2. Compared with gasoline cars, electric cars are more energy saving, making them cheaper to operate. 3. Compared with gasoline cars, electric cars are 3 to the environment. 4. Gas cars can cover a 4 distance on a full tank than electric cars on a full charge. 5. There are many gas stations built for gas cars while not enough charging stations are provided for people to charge their electric cars. ※Conclusion: Both gas cars and electric cars have their own advantages. Your choice depends on your 5 . 【答案】1．Similarity 2．possibility 3．friendlier 4．longer 5．preference 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了电动汽车和汽油车的相似之处和不同之处。 1．根据第二段第一句“Electric and gasoline cars look similar on the outside.”可知，电车和汽油车外表看起来相似。因而空缺处应填不可数名词“Similarity”即“相似性”。故填Similarity。 2．根据第二段最后一句“Having fewer parts makes the electricity car cheaper to maintain and less likely to have mechanical problems.”拥有更少的零件使得电动汽车的维护成本更低，也更不容易出现机械问题。空格处应表达出现机械问题的可能性小，前面有冠词，因而空处应为名词。故填possibility。 3．根据第四段“Electric cars do not have tailpipe emissions (尾气排放), making them do no harm to the environment, too.”电动汽车不会对环境造成影响，意为对环境更加有好。因此空处应是使用形容词作表语，此处是两种车的对比，用比较级。故填friendlier。 4．根据第五段第二三句“For example, some electric cars can travel only 60 to 120 miles on a full charge. Most gas cars can drive hundreds of miles on a full tank.”可知，与充满电的电动汽车相比，加满油的汽油车可以行驶更长的距离。结合空后“than”，两者对比，用比较级形式。故填longer。 5．根据最后一段“There are certainly advantages to both electric cars and gasoline cars. It’s good to know that there is a choice. Which one do you prefer? It’s up to you.”可知，此处表达汽油车和电动车都有各自的优势，你的选择取决于你的喜好。结合空前的形容词性物主代词your，该空应填名词“preference”即“喜好”。故填preference。 主题04 人与社会——景点建筑 Passage 1 （23-24九年级上·四川省宜宾市叙州区龙文学校·期中） 阅读下面短文，根据其内容，完成表格中所缺的信息，并将答案填写在答题卡的相应位置（每空一词）。 If there is one place you can really call wonderland, that’s Zhangjiajie.

You know you can sell millions of them, but first of all, you must give the product a name—a brand name. And that may not be as easy as you think. The brand name is the thing that makes your product stand out from all the others. Businesses spend a lot of time thinking about brand names; when the name has been picked, it’s very difficult to change, so companies have to get it right first time. So how do you choose a name? A brand name should be special, memorable and easy to understand. It should create some kind of emotional connection with people who buy the product—the target (目标) market. Some companies use the family name. When Henry Ford started making cars, he just called the company Ford. Some companies use wordplay. It’s a common way for naming apps, for example WhatsApp (from the English expression What’s up? As they pronounce similarly). But what do you have to be careful about? Well, you shouldn’t choose a name that may not work in certain countries or cultures. Many years ago, a car company produced a new car that they called Nova. They thought it suggested something nice and new, but in Spanish it can be read as no va (“it doesn’t go”). Not a good name for a car in Spain! These days, the choice of brand name is quite important if your product is aimed at teenage market. A teacher in an American high school said, “Teenagers won’t buy something that’s almost the same or cheaper—simply because they feel they must wear something with the right logo.” Companies know that the name isn’t everything—the product itself has to be good, of course—it is the most important part of the whole package. Theme Brand Names Importance • Brand name will make your product stand out from all the others. • It’s not 1 to change once it is picked. Requirements for a brand name • Special. •   2 . • Easy to understand. 3 to choose a brand name • Choose from family name. • Use wordplay: e.g. words that share the similar 4 . • Pay attention to cultural differences. • For teenagers, a brand name should stay away from copying other brands. Conclusion • The product itself plays the most 5 role no matter how perfect the brand name is. 【答案】1．easy 2．Memorable 3．How 4．pronunciation 5．important 【导语】本文主要介绍了公司选择品牌名字的过程，最后强调产品名字不是一切，产品本身好才是最重要的。 1．根据“when the name has been picked, it’s very difficult to change”可知，品牌名字一旦被选中，就不容易改变。故填easy。 2．根据“A brand name should be special, memorable and easy to understand.”可知，一个品牌的名字应该是特别的、容易记住的、容易理解的，此处首字母要大写。故填Memorable。 3．根据第三段内容可知，本段主要介绍了如何选择品牌名字，因此用How，此处首字母要大写。故填How。 4．根据“Some companies use wordplay. It’s a common way for naming apps, for example WhatsApp (from the English expression What’s up? As they pronounce similarly).”可知，可以使用文字游戏如发音相近的单词来确定品牌名字，此处用pronounce的名词形式。故填pronunciation。 5．根据“Companies know that the name isn’t everything—the product itself has to be good, of course—it is the most important part of the whole package.”可知，无论品牌名称多么完美，产品本身起着最重要的作用。故填important。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·四川省成都市树德实验中学·期中） In the past, people wore clothes to cover their bodies and protect themselves against many things that might cause danger to them, such as rain, snow and wind. They have shown great gift for inventing clothes to protect themselves from environmental dangers. For example, they have made space clothes in space, swimming suit in water, and other kinds of protective clothing to stay away from any danger. Nowadays, clothes can protect you when you do something dangerous. They offer you a protection between your skin and environment. For example, on hot sunny days a sun-proof clothing will protect you from the sun. Further, clothes can keep germs (细菌) away from our body so that we have a better protection from illnesses. Someday, maybe your clothes will check your body and remind you to take your medicine. “In 2050, the designers of clothes will use different kinds of new materials (材料) to make beautiful clothes.

In this way, we are…illnesses.”可知，此处应该指的是远离疾病，be away from，动词短语，意为“远离”符合题意。故填away from。 4．根据第三段内容“‘In 2050, the designers of clothes will use different kinds of new materials (材料) to make beautiful clothes. Clothing companies are getting closer and closer to the latest fashions. Fashions will increasingly help designers make or change the styles of clothes.’ said Sondra Grace, the head of the Fashion Department at the Massachusetts College of Art.”可知，在未来，服装设计师将使用不同种类的新材料来制作漂亮的衣服。服装公司越来越接近最新的时尚。结合空格后“latest”可知，此处应该填入定冠词the。故填the。 5．根据最后一段中“Anyway, we can say that the clothing industry will improve quickly.”可知，不管怎样，服装行业会很快好转。结合分析句子“The clothing industry will improve with…”可知，此处应该填入high speed，意为“高的速度”符合题意。故填high speed。 Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·四川省成都市石室天府中学·期中） With just a boat, a paddle (桨) and a bit of water, you can experience fun and exercise in a kayak. Kayaking is a kind of paddling sport, and people often mistake it for canoeing (划独木舟), but they are quite different. Kayakers sit on the floor of the boat while canoeists sit on a bench. Also, kayak paddles have a wide flat part on either end, but canoe paddles have them on only one end. Within kayaking, there are a few styles that need different levels of skill and fitness. Anyone can enjoy relaxing kayaking, most often paddling on a lake or perhaps a gentle river. Whitewater kayaking is much more exciting because boats travel down fast rivers and even over small waterfalls. Surf kayakers must be both strong-willed and talented as they ride waves on the open ocean. The difficulty involved with kayaking is transportation—a boat several meters long is not exactly easy to carry around. However, a man who had to leave his kayak behind when moving to a smaller apartment borrowed the idea of Japanese paper folding, and made a new type of special kayak. He could fold it into a very thin pack, allowing the kayak to easily fit in a car. In this way, the problem was perfectly solved. Kayaking can offer sightseeing opportunities and a good way to exercise certain parts of the body. Paddling is helpful for strengthening the upper body and it requires continuing turning of your main body, giving it some great exercise. Another advantage is that these movements are gentler on the body’s joints and tissues (关节和组织) than running. Kayaking doesn’t just improve the health of the body, though—it also has been shown to make you less stressed as well. With so many benefits, why not head to the closest water and give it a try? 1 between kayaking and canoeingKayakers sit on the floor of the boat. Canoeists sit on a bench.

In 2008, the festival became a national-level intangible cultural heritage. Different kinds of beautiful lanterns can be seen during the festival. Some small lanterns are finely made. Some large ones can be as tall as 20 meters. On the lanterns, you can find Chinese zodiac (生肖), astronauts and so on. Zigong Lanterns mix sound, light and movement in just one lantern. This sets them apart from lanterns in other places. This year, the Zigong Lantern Festival started on January 29th. It had 1.15 million visits by March 17. Zigong lantern festivals have gone to more than 500 cities in China and more than 80 countries around the world. Wan Songtao learned to make Zigong lanterns from his father. When he was a teenager, he spent every summer and winter vacations learning lantern-making. To get better at designing (设计), Wan studied fine art in college. Making a large lantern for an exhibition takes over 15 steps. One of the most important parts is the first step—designing. “We used to design the lanterns all by ourselves,” said Wan. “Now we also use AI for good ideas.” Besides AI, other technologies are also helpful. This year, Wan’s favorite work is a sundial (日晷). “The success of Zigong lanterns comes from teamwork,” he said. “The sundial is the work of over 80 Zigong lantern makers as well as a group of engineers. It took us over 4,000 hours to make it and bring it to the park.” Zigong Lanterns shape the colorful world with great ideas and cool technology. They are now a name card for our hometown, as well as our motherland,” said Wan.

The latest, Kung Fu Panda 4, came to the screen on March 8th. Do you know what the first one was about 16 years ago? It tells the story of a panda named Po who wants to be a kung fu warrior (勇士). This movie is not just fascinating. More importantly, there’s something cultural about China behind it. In the movie, Po always dreams of becoming a kung fu warrior, but his adoptive father, a duck, is busy running a noodle house every day and wants his son to join him. Po has to keep his dream in heart because he loves his father. However, he doesn’t give up his dream and keeps on practicing kung fu without telling others. In the end, he tells his father what he really wants to be. His father understands him and encourages him to achieve his dream. Po admires and respects his father more. This shows the importance of family in Chinese people’s eyes. In ancient China, kung fu warriors played a role in protecting a village. In the film, these kung fu warriors live in a temple that is on the top of the mountain. The mountaintop helps them notice any danger to the village which lies in the valley better. This way, if the enemy comes, there will be enough time for the village to prepare. The villagers will try their best to drive away the enemy and stay away from danger. Acupuncture (针灸) is one of the examples of Chinese material culture. Doctors of traditional Chinese medicine use the needles (针) at certain points on the body to treat some people’s illnesses. For example, acupuncture is used to lower Po’s bodily discomfort after he is trained heavily. This makes it possible for him to complete each training. Are you interested in the wonderful movie?

It is technology that makes our life much better! Here are some examples. ●The way people keep in touch Then: Snail mail (邮寄信件) was a main way. I remember having pen pals in primary school and being very excited about writing letters and buying stamps. Although there’s something good about the idea of snail mail, it often took a longer time and brought trouble for both the letter givers and the receivers, and even the postmen. Now: Today, people can receive our message on social media the minute we send it. Video chat is often made as well. Technology has successfully shortened the time from several days to minutes. But because it has become so easy, we often neglect (忽视) a face-to-face conversation with others. ●The way people travel Then: People once thought that the roads were so dangerous. When cars were a new invention, a man walked in front of them with a red flag, reminding other people to be careful. Now, of course,we are used to them. Now: My grandparents still can’t get over the fact that with a click of a button, you can have a car pick you up right to your doorstep. Besides, with the help of technology, travel can become a lot more eco-friendly. Gone are the days when you had to print out your airline or train tickets. Instead, we now have e-tickets. ●The way people relax and have fun Then: Over half a century ago, we were first introduced to the large and heavy box called a television set. Your grandparents can tell you that when they first started watching TV, pictures were black and white. Fewer TV shows were provided for us in the early years, and most of them were about family or news. Now: Programs about almost everything can be easily found. We can read news on the Internet, read books on e-readers and watch movies online, too. Technology has made our life easier, faster and more interesting. It seems that our dependence on technology isn’t such a bad thing. Comparison about life in the 1 and now Then Now 2 ●People were happy about having pen pals and being very excited. ●The way of snail mail was slow and 3 . ●The message can be received quickly after being sent. ●People are short of a face-to-face conversation. Transportation ●A helper held a red flag and 4 others not to go near cars. ●Travel becomes much easier and faster with the help of technology. Entertainment ●The TV was large and heavy. ●Pictures were black and white on TV. ●Only 5 of shows were available on TV. ●More programs are on show on TV. ●More ways are provided to relax and have fun.

They help the police solve crimes and keep the streets safe. But that’s not all they do. We can also know people do very stupid or smart things from them. One of the videos is of a British woman Mary Bale. She clearly doesn’t like cats. In 2010 she was caught on CCTV throwing one into a dustbin. The video showed Mary walking down a quiet street. All of sudden, she noticed Lola the cat jump onto a fence. Mary stopped to pick up Lola and dropped her into a large dustbin. Lola was saved fifteen hours later. And Mary was arrested for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal. She was fined £250 and couldn’t have her own pets for five years without permission (允许). Another video shows “Britain’s drunkest man”. He’s been at a party at London’s Savoy Hotel. And he obviously had too many glasses of beer. At about 2 a.m., he was kicked out for being too drunk. So, he decided to walk home. On the way, CCTV cameras filmed him falling down stairs and crossing the roads madly...A policeman said, “It’s amazing he didn’t hurt himself badly.” Sometimes they also record smart events. Once a British band The Get Out Clause didn’t have any money to make a music video. So, they came up with an unbelievable idea. They set up their instruments and played a song in front of eight CCTV cameras. And then, according to the English Freedom of Information Act, they asked for a copy of all the footages (视频), which they edited. The result is that a totally new music video was made, and it didn’t cost them a penny. To help the police solve crimes: A woman dropped a lonely cat into a big dustbin; She was fined £250 and was not 1 to own pets for five years.

It helps us open up our eyes to the world. News is information about present events, and it covers all kinds of topics, including politics (政治), business, sports, entertainment, science, and technology. It can be divided into local news and international news. How to write news reports? Let’s try writing our own news report by using the tips below. What’s the story? Find a story to report on something that people might not know about yet. Local events are a great place to start. What’s happening around where you live? What might local people be interested in reading about? It could be the opening of a music club or the notice that a new skate park will be built. Maybe a new theatre show or a modern cafe shop will appear in town. Something that has to do with their life. It’s all in the headline. Yao Ming quits as head of Chinese basketball. All good news reports have a great headline. This is usually in eye-catching large text across the top of the article. Readers always become less interested when they see long sentences and have difficulty understanding some expressions. To make them read better, start with two or more words which have the same sound. For example: “Community cries at church closure”. Try to use as few words as possible. Include the five “W”s. Who, what, when, where and why? These are the questions all good reporters ask and plan to answer in a news article. Gather this information before you start writing. These key facts should be included in the first part of your report. You can add more information that readers may be interested in later to the report. Stick with reporting on facts you’re sure about, unless you are using other people’s opinions. Get someone on the record. If someone agrees to be put “on the record” it means they understand when they talk to you what they say can be shared in the report. Before you interview someone, list your questions on a notebook. To record their answers, you can write them down or use a voice recorder and don’t forget to use their full name and speech marks. For example, Ann Zarka, a local person, said, “We loved the food shop at the May Festival”. Make sure your words are exactly what she wants to mean. So now, have you had any idea about news reports? Waiting for yours! The Meaning of News. It reports 1 now, including local and international events, covering all kinds of topics. ←News Reports→ The Requirements of News Reports 2 reports 3 people’s interests and life.

Besides people’s opinions, 5 hold great importance in the reports, Put the idea of being honest first. It’s a “must” to tell interviewees that readers will know what they say.

They are a symbol of China. Have you watched the dragon dance? How much do you know about it? In Chinese culture, the dragon dance is a form of traditional dance. In the dance, a team of people carry the dragon and perform wonderful dances. Like the lion dance, this traditional dance has spread all over China and the whole world. The dragon dance itself began in the Han Dynasty and it was started by the Chinese who had great respect (尊重) for the dragon. The dragon dance was already a popular event in the Song Dynasty. At that time, people could often see it during important festivals. In the Qing Dynasty, the Dragon Dance Team of Fuzhou was invited to give a performance in Beijing. And the emperor was quite glad to see the performance. In the past, people used wood, bamboo and a special cloth to make dragons. So they were always quite heavy. However, in modern times, dragons are much lighter because they are made of much lighter materials. A dragon can be of different lengths. It can be 25 to 35 meters long for acrobatic (杂技的) acts, and up to 50 to 70 meters long for quite large parades (游行) because people believe that the longer the dragon is, the more luck it will bring.

Car companies are now making cars that are fully powered by electricity only. How do these electric cars measure up to (符合标准) traditional gasoline cars? Electric and gasoline cars look similar on the outside. They have very different parts under their hoods (引擎盖), though. Electric cars have one main moving part: the motor. But gasoline cars have hundreds of parts, often requiring frequent maintenance (保养). Having fewer parts makes the electricity car cheaper to maintain and less likely to have mechanical (机械的) problems. Electric cars are energy efficient (高效的), also making them cheaper to operate. It costs about ＄1.00 to travel 43 miles in an electric car, which is a clear contrast to a gas car . But it costs about ＄1.25 to go 18 miles in a gasoline car. Basically, an electric car can go twice as far as a gas car for the same price. Electric cars do not have tailpipe emissions (尾气排放), making them do no harm to the environment, too. While some points make electric cars seem attractive, other points aren’t as favorable. For example, some electric cars can travel only 60 to 120 miles on a full charge (充电). Most gas cars can drive hundreds of miles on a full tank (油箱). An electric car has to stop more often to get recharged. Therefore, a gas car would be a better option (选择) if you have far to drive. And electric cars aren’t as convenient (方便的) to power up as gas cars are. There are plenty of gas stations, but not many charging stations for electric cars. Then, once an electric car reaches a charging station. It can take up to six hours to charge, There are certainly advantages to both electric cars and gasoline cars. It’s good to know that there is a choice. Which one do you prefer? It’s up to you. ※Introduction: With the appearance of electric cars, people wonder whether electric cars can reach the same standards as gasoline cars. ※ 1 : The looks of gasoline cars and electric cars. 1. For electric cars, having fewer parts cuts down the cost of their maintenance and the 2 of having problems in the machines. 2. Compared with gasoline cars, electric cars are more energy saving, making them cheaper to operate. 3. Compared with gasoline cars, electric cars are 3 to the environment. 4. Gas cars can cover a 4 distance on a full tank than electric cars on a full charge. 5. There are many gas stations built for gas cars while not enough charging stations are provided for people to charge their electric cars. ※Conclusion: Both gas cars and electric cars have their own advantages.

You know you can sell millions of them, but first of all, you must give the product a name—a brand name. And that may not be as easy as you think. The brand name is the thing that makes your product stand out from all the others. Businesses spend a lot of time thinking about brand names; when the name has been picked, it’s very difficult to change, so companies have to get it right first time. So how do you choose a name? A brand name should be special, memorable and easy to understand. It should create some kind of emotional connection with people who buy the product—the target (目标) market. Some companies use the family name. When Henry Ford started making cars, he just called the company Ford. Some companies use wordplay. It’s a common way for naming apps, for example WhatsApp (from the English expression What’s up? As they pronounce similarly). But what do you have to be careful about? Well, you shouldn’t choose a name that may not work in certain countries or cultures. Many years ago, a car company produced a new car that they called Nova. They thought it suggested something nice and new, but in Spanish it can be read as no va (“it doesn’t go”). Not a good name for a car in Spain! These days, the choice of brand name is quite important if your product is aimed at teenage market. A teacher in an American high school said, “Teenagers won’t buy something that’s almost the same or cheaper—simply because they feel they must wear something with the right logo.” Companies know that the name isn’t everything—the product itself has to be good, of course—it is the most important part of the whole package. Theme Brand Names Importance • Brand name will make your product stand out from all the others. • It’s not 1 to change once it is picked. Requirements for a brand name • Special. •   2 . • Easy to understand. 3 to choose a brand name • Choose from family name. • Use wordplay: e.g. words that share the similar 4 . • Pay attention to cultural differences. • For teenagers, a brand name should stay away from copying other brands. Conclusion • The product itself plays the most 5 role no matter how perfect the brand name is. Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·四川省成都市树德实验中学·期中） In the past, people wore clothes to cover their bodies and protect themselves against many things that might cause danger to them, such as rain, snow and wind. They have shown great gift for inventing clothes to protect themselves from environmental dangers. For example, they have made space clothes in space, swimming suit in water, and other kinds of protective clothing to stay away from any danger. Nowadays, clothes can protect you when you do something dangerous. They offer you a protection between your skin and environment. For example, on hot sunny days a sun-proof clothing will protect you from the sun. Further, clothes can keep germs (细菌) away from our body so that we have a better protection from illnesses. Someday, maybe your clothes will check your body and remind you to take your medicine. “In 2050, the designers of clothes will use different kinds of new materials (材料) to make beautiful clothes. Clothing companies are getting closer and closer to the latest fashions. Fashions will increasingly help designers make or change the styles of clothes.” said Sondra Grace, the head of the Fashion Department at the Massachusetts College of Art. However, the difference between fashionable clothing and protective clothing is not always clear. On the one hand. clothes designed to be fashionable will often have some protective functions. On the other hand, clothes designed to be functional will often try to be fashionable. Anyway, we can say that the clothing industry will improve quickly.

Kayaking is a kind of paddling sport, and people often mistake it for canoeing (划独木舟), but they are quite different. Kayakers sit on the floor of the boat while canoeists sit on a bench. Also, kayak paddles have a wide flat part on either end, but canoe paddles have them on only one end. Within kayaking, there are a few styles that need different levels of skill and fitness. Anyone can enjoy relaxing kayaking, most often paddling on a lake or perhaps a gentle river. Whitewater kayaking is much more exciting because boats travel down fast rivers and even over small waterfalls. Surf kayakers must be both strong-willed and talented as they ride waves on the open ocean. The difficulty involved with kayaking is transportation—a boat several meters long is not exactly easy to carry around. However, a man who had to leave his kayak behind when moving to a smaller apartment borrowed the idea of Japanese paper folding, and made a new type of special kayak. He could fold it into a very thin pack, allowing the kayak to easily fit in a car. In this way, the problem was perfectly solved. Kayaking can offer sightseeing opportunities and a good way to exercise certain parts of the body. Paddling is helpful for strengthening the upper body and it requires continuing turning of your main body, giving it some great exercise. Another advantage is that these movements are gentler on the body’s joints and tissues (关节和组织) than running. Kayaking doesn’t just improve the health of the body, though—it also has been shown to make you less stressed as well. With so many benefits, why not head to the closest water and give it a try? 1 between kayaking and canoeingKayakers sit on the floor of the boat. Canoeists sit on a bench.

Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·四川省成都市武侯区成都市棕北中学·期中） At Milan Fashion Week last September in Italy, people were amazed at the beautiful pictures on the models’ clothes. What were these? Italian embroidery (刺绣)? Many people thought so. However, they were Chinese traditional Miao embroidery. About four months before Milan Fashion Week, some embroidery works were chosen to be displayed (展示) at Milan Fashion Week. They showed the traditional art skills of the Miao people. The Miao are one of China’s 56 ethnic (民族的) groups. Miao people have a habit of embroidering beautiful pictures on their clothes. They have got ideas for these pictures from nature and ethnic history. “I have never been to a foreign country, but my embroidery has,” Wang Rongbi said in excitement. Wang comes from Xiaogulong Village in Guizhou Province. She is one of the embroidery designers from the province. Wang takes pride in where she comes from. In her pieces, she embroiders seals (印章) on different parts of clothes. In this way, she pays her great respect to the Siyin Miao, one branch (分支) of the Miao ethnic group. Shi Chuanying is another Miao embroiderer from Guizhou. The 45-year-old was luckier than Wang. She went to the Milan Fashion Week. In July, Shi got an invitation, and on September 21, Shi left for Milan. She went there with ten embroidered pieces made for the catwalk.

In 2008, the festival became a national-level intangible cultural heritage. Different kinds of beautiful lanterns can be seen during the festival. Some small lanterns are finely made. Some large ones can be as tall as 20 meters. On the lanterns, you can find Chinese zodiac (生肖), astronauts and so on. Zigong Lanterns mix sound, light and movement in just one lantern. This sets them apart from lanterns in other places. This year, the Zigong Lantern Festival started on January 29th. It had 1.15 million visits by March 17. Zigong lantern festivals have gone to more than 500 cities in China and more than 80 countries around the world. Wan Songtao learned to make Zigong lanterns from his father. When he was a teenager, he spent every summer and winter vacations learning lantern-making. To get better at designing (设计), Wan studied fine art in college. Making a large lantern for an exhibition takes over 15 steps. One of the most important parts is the first step—designing. “We used to design the lanterns all by ourselves,” said Wan. “Now we also use AI for good ideas.” Besides AI, other technologies are also helpful. This year, Wan’s favorite work is a sundial (日晷). “The success of Zigong lanterns comes from teamwork,” he said. “The sundial is the work of over 80 Zigong lantern makers as well as a group of engineers. It took us over 4,000 hours to make it and bring it to the park.” Zigong Lanterns shape the colorful world with great ideas and cool technology. They are now a name card for our hometown, as well as our motherland,” said Wan.

The latest, Kung Fu Panda 4, came to the screen on March 8th. Do you know what the first one was about 16 years ago? It tells the story of a panda named Po who wants to be a kung fu warrior (勇士). This movie is not just fascinating. More importantly, there’s something cultural about China behind it. In the movie, Po always dreams of becoming a kung fu warrior, but his adoptive father, a duck, is busy running a noodle house every day and wants his son to join him. Po has to keep his dream in heart because he loves his father. However, he doesn’t give up his dream and keeps on practicing kung fu without telling others. In the end, he tells his father what he really wants to be. His father understands him and encourages him to achieve his dream. Po admires and respects his father more. This shows the importance of family in Chinese people’s eyes. In ancient China, kung fu warriors played a role in protecting a village. In the film, these kung fu warriors live in a temple that is on the top of the mountain. The mountaintop helps them notice any danger to the village which lies in the valley better. This way, if the enemy comes, there will be enough time for the village to prepare. The villagers will try their best to drive away the enemy and stay away from danger. Acupuncture (针灸) is one of the examples of Chinese material culture. Doctors of traditional Chinese medicine use the needles (针) at certain points on the body to treat some people’s illnesses. For example, acupuncture is used to lower Po’s bodily discomfort after he is trained heavily. This makes it possible for him to complete each training. Are you interested in the wonderful movie?

It is technology that makes our life much better! Here are some examples. ●The way people keep in touch Then: Snail mail (邮寄信件) was a main way. I remember having pen pals in primary school and being very excited about writing letters and buying stamps. Although there’s something good about the idea of snail mail, it often took a longer time and brought trouble for both the letter givers and the receivers, and even the postmen. Now: Today, people can receive our message on social media the minute we send it. Video chat is often made as well. Technology has successfully shortened the time from several days to minutes. But because it has become so easy, we often neglect (忽视) a face-to-face conversation with others. ●The way people travel Then: People once thought that the roads were so dangerous. When cars were a new invention, a man walked in front of them with a red flag, reminding other people to be careful. Now, of course,we are used to them. Now: My grandparents still can’t get over the fact that with a click of a button, you can have a car pick you up right to your doorstep. Besides, with the help of technology, travel can become a lot more eco-friendly. Gone are the days when you had to print out your airline or train tickets. Instead, we now have e-tickets. ●The way people relax and have fun Then: Over half a century ago, we were first introduced to the large and heavy box called a television set. Your grandparents can tell you that when they first started watching TV, pictures were black and white. Fewer TV shows were provided for us in the early years, and most of them were about family or news. Now: Programs about almost everything can be easily found. We can read news on the Internet, read books on e-readers and watch movies online, too. Technology has made our life easier, faster and more interesting. It seems that our dependence on technology isn’t such a bad thing. Comparison about life in the 1 and now Then Now 2 ●People were happy about having pen pals and being very excited. ●The way of snail mail was slow and 3 . ●The message can be received quickly after being sent. ●People are short of a face-to-face conversation.

Conclusion: Modern technology really makes a lot of difference to our life.

They help the police solve crimes and keep the streets safe. But that’s not all they do. We can also know people do very stupid or smart things from them. One of the videos is of a British woman Mary Bale. She clearly doesn’t like cats. In 2010 she was caught on CCTV throwing one into a dustbin. The video showed Mary walking down a quiet street. All of sudden, she noticed Lola the cat jump onto a fence. Mary stopped to pick up Lola and dropped her into a large dustbin. Lola was saved fifteen hours later. And Mary was arrested for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal. She was fined £250 and couldn’t have her own pets for five years without permission (允许). Another video shows “Britain’s drunkest man”. He’s been at a party at London’s Savoy Hotel. And he obviously had too many glasses of beer. At about 2 a.m., he was kicked out for being too drunk. So, he decided to walk home. On the way, CCTV cameras filmed him falling down stairs and crossing the roads madly...A policeman said, “It’s amazing he didn’t hurt himself badly.” Sometimes they also record smart events. Once a British band The Get Out Clause didn’t have any money to make a music video. So, they came up with an unbelievable idea. They set up their instruments and played a song in front of eight CCTV cameras. And then, according to the English Freedom of Information Act, they asked for a copy of all the footages (视频), which they edited. The result is that a totally new music video was made, and it didn’t cost them a penny. To help the police solve crimes: A woman dropped a lonely cat into a big dustbin; She was fined £250 and was not 1 to own pets for five years. To catch people doing stupid things: A man got very drunk and was thrown out of London’s Savoy Hotel; He went back home through a lot of 2 but was not badly hurt.

It helps us open up our eyes to the world. News is information about present events, and it covers all kinds of topics, including politics (政治), business, sports, entertainment, science, and technology. It can be divided into local news and international news. How to write news reports? Let’s try writing our own news report by using the tips below. What’s the story? Find a story to report on something that people might not know about yet. Local events are a great place to start. What’s happening around where you live? What might local people be interested in reading about? It could be the opening of a music club or the notice that a new skate park will be built. Maybe a new theatre show or a modern cafe shop will appear in town. Something that has to do with their life. It’s all in the headline. Yao Ming quits as head of Chinese basketball. All good news reports have a great headline. This is usually in eye-catching large text across the top of the article. Readers always become less interested when they see long sentences and have difficulty understanding some expressions. To make them read better, start with two or more words which have the same sound. For example: “Community cries at church closure”. Try to use as few words as possible. Include the five “W”s. Who, what, when, where and why? These are the questions all good reporters ask and plan to answer in a news article. Gather this information before you start writing. These key facts should be included in the first part of your report. You can add more information that readers may be interested in later to the report. Stick with reporting on facts you’re sure about, unless you are using other people’s opinions. Get someone on the record. If someone agrees to be put “on the record” it means they understand when they talk to you what they say can be shared in the report. Before you interview someone, list your questions on a notebook. To record their answers, you can write them down or use a voice recorder and don’t forget to use their full name and speech marks. For example, Ann Zarka, a local person, said, “We loved the food shop at the May Festival”. Make sure your words are exactly what she wants to mean. So now, have you had any idea about news reports? Waiting for yours! The Meaning of News. It reports 1 now, including local and international events, covering all kinds of topics. ←News Reports→ The Requirements of News Reports 2 reports 3 people’s interests and life.
